Cuernavaca, Mexico, Aug 16, 2016 / 21:02 pm
Amid allegations of interference in politics after receiving demonstrators critical of the governor of the state of Morelos, Bishop Ramón Castro Castro of Cuernavaca has said he is not afraid of facing prison.
" If I go to prison, no problem; from there I'll do the work of evangelization," Bishop Castro told local daily El Sol de Cautla.
"We're awaiting notification, and I want to thank the Cuernavaca Bar Association, which lent me their support by coming to my defense," he added.
Bishop Castro hosted at the Cuernavaca cathedral July 28 more than 100 people from various civil organizations who expressed criticism of Graco Ramírez, governor of Morelos, because of the difficulties facing the state.
